Review summary

The cruise was what you wanted it to be. Since the boat was crowded at time you really had to wait. I hated the way marketplace is set up. Carnival sunshine has a round island with several items so multiple people can be served at one time. This ships doesn't and creates a long line to eat

Embarkation

2 out of 5

The cruise director and his team work too dayum hard. Jake was awesome as well. Hey Matt They made sure you had fun even when you saw how tired they were

Children's Programs

I think the age of the club should be adjusted My 14 year nearly 15 year old should have been able to party with team in her group. If she is in high school, why could she attend the 15+ club. She had a lousy time

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Service could have been better, but since the ship was full. You saw how hard they were working. Needed more staff for a full ship

Ship tip

Everyone should purchase the 5.00 wifi package that isnt published to be able to text family on the boat. So much stuff to do. Guy pig and BBQ was AWESOME! They should inform you of the parties and thing to do before you go on the ship so you are prepared.

Thanks for the heads ups. We started eating buffet because the wait in the dining room is ridiculous. I have been reading so many mixed reviews, so I am sure it will be what we make of it. We still have a ways to go too.
